   i'll second this (removing the seats), though i found out by running 
the central locking, not wires. i've also considered running the power 
wire down the left side of the car under the carpet as about half the 
cars i've stripped haven't been glued there and the taillight harness 
runs through there as well; i would then run the speakers cables down 
the right side in the same location. alternatively you could always go 
up the center where there is current wiring for the fuel pump, iirc. and 
for what it's worth, when i installed the rear speakers into my dad's 
rabbit i ran the wires through the a-pillar and above the headliner.
